Christians, nothing more, nothing less or nothing else....
Meeting together as Christ's
church
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ABOUT US -
We are ordinary
people from all walks of life, who seek to be Christians only, nothing more, less or anything else, who
meet together as a congregation of Christ.
As human beings, there is nothing special about
us; but we believe we have found something special - each of us have Jesus
Christ as our personal Saviour, and the reason for us gathering together is to
worship God, praise Jesus Christ and encourage one another to continue to follow
Christ's teachings
We believe that Jesus Christ is deity - God,
as is the Holy Spirit and God the Father, that all three are God in One, eternal
and without beginning, but with different personalities being a Trinity or
Triunity
Salvation for all mankind is found only in
Christ through hearing, repentance, confessing, and baptism (immersion)
into Christ (Rom 10:17, Jon 8:24, Luke 13:3,5, Mat 10:32-33, Mark 16:16, Acts
2:38, Gal 3:26,27)
We do not baptise (Christen) babies, as infants
are not born in sin (original sin) and are in a saved condition. An un-baptised
child who dies will not spent eternity suffering in Hell, but will go
immediately to Heaven. We wait until a child has faith and then requests
baptism, just like the very first Christians who we read about in the Bible
We are part of a
worldwide fellowship of independent congregations, that have existed for
hundreds of years. In origin we are not English, American or have any other origin
other than being based only on scripture being Bible based. We have no
headquarters outside the local congregation and are not bound by some creed or
organisation other than scripture
We seek simply to study and
practice the only word of God, the Bible
We are not bound by
denominational ties, traditions, doctrines, or organizations and are not a
denomination being non-denominational
We have no creeds or
confessions of faith; the Bible alone is our source of faith (Romans 10:17)
We strive to practice simple
New Testament Christianity without addition, our desire to be the church that
Christ built (Matthew 16:18) - the church of Christ (Romans 16:16)
Our identity - "the church of
Christ" taken from Romans 16:16. The word church simply means the elect of God,
those called out of the world. It does not refer to a building or organisation.
We are not associated with many other groups who use a similar name such as the
International Churches of Christ
Congregations worshipping and
teaching as we do today have existed in England since the Norman conquest
(1066), certainly even earlier. But what is even more important is the fact that
such congregations date from the time of the New Testament, for the first church
of Christ was established by Christ Himself, through His apostles, in Jerusalem
about the year AD. 30. That church is described in the scriptures. We read about
the names it wore, the message it preached, its worship and the way it was
governed. In short, in the New Testament we are given a pattern for the true
church, and all who are following that pattern faithfully are members of the
church of Christ and children of God whether they are known to us or not. Indeed
we often receive news of the existence of such groups in parts of the world
where we did not know they existed. Yet their existence does not surprise us,
because the Word of God is like seed which produces the true church wherever it
is sown
Our worship is distinctive as
we don't use instrumental music. We do believe in music. The New Testament tells
us that worship music under Christ is congregational singing with one another in
praise to God (Ephesians 5:19; Colossians 3:16)
We partake of the Lord's Supper
every first day of the week as the Bible teaches (Acts 20:7), not monthly,
quarterly or yearly!
Our preaching is also
distinctive. We seek to "speak as the oracles of God" (1 Peter 4:11), so you
will hear scripture quotations in the lesson
We give as we are prospered (1
Corinthians 16:1,2). We pray to the Father through the Son (Colossians 3:17).
Our worship is not frilly, worldly or glamorous, but it is what God expects of
us - to worship in spirit and in truth (John 4:24)
Just like the church of the
bible we have no clergy, all Christians are equal in Christ, all Christians are
priests and saints, though some have different roles and responsibilities, all
are servants of Christ
Our mission is two fold, to
assist each other to get to Heaven and share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with
others with the hope of eternal life

These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word
with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether
those things were so.

The Bible
contains the mind of God, the state of man, the way of
salvation, the doom of sinners and the happiness of believers. Its
histories are true, its doctrines are holy, its precepts are binding,
and its decisions are immutable. Read it to be wise, believe it to be safe, and practice it to be holy.
It contains light to direct you, food to support you, and comfort to
cheer you. It is the traveller's map, the pilgrim's staff, the sailor's
compass, the soldier's sword. and the Christian charter. Here paradise
is restored, heaven is opened and the gates of hell are disclosed.
Christ is its subject, our good its design, and the glory of God its
end. It should fill the memory, rule the heart, and guide the feet.
Read it slowly, frequently, prayerfully. It is a mine of wealth, a
paradise of glory and a river of pleasure. It is given you in life, will
be opened at the judgement and will be remembered forever. It involves
the highest responsibility, rewards the greatest labour and condemns all
who trifle with Its holy contents...
